Pangea Day: May 10

posted by John MacFarlane at 4h57 GMT on May 5

A handful of the people involved with Why Democracy have been part of the team working on Pangea Day, a project with a beautiful ambition: using film to bring the world closer together.

Pangea Day takes place on May 10, and chances are very good that there's a screening happening near you - follow this link for screening events around the world. Throughout the week we'll put up new video clips as we count down to the main event.
